Power and Welfare: Understanding Citizens' Encounters with State Welfare

By Kaspar Villadsen, Nanna Mik-Meyer, Kaspar Villardsen

Book Overview

When the state punishes criminals or removes children at risk, its power is immediately apparent. However, power is also at stake when the state seeks to educate, advise, or empower citizens, and this book encourages reflection on the exercise of professional power in these less coercive encounters.
